EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
In the late 1980’s, Dr Francine Shapiro observed that eye movements reduced the intensity of disturbing thoughts and memories.
​
“In EMDR, the emphasis is on allowing the information processing system in the brain to make the internal connections needed to resolve the disturbance. So, the person only needs to focus briefly on the disturbing memory.” Dr Francine Shapiro.
​
Since then, her technique has developed and evolved, relieving many types of psychological stress and severe trauma. EMDR has a direct effect on the way the brain processes information received and enables almost instantaneous reprogramming of neurological patterns: The memory is still there. However, the traumatic emotion associated with it is gone.
